参考答案和解析
该段录音中指出Malta（马尔地）是一个人口密集的国家，但是移民数量却依旧很小，官方指出他们尚无确切的统计，但是估测移民人口在3000以下，而这一数字是“less than 1% of the island’s 400, 000 population”，因此选项D正确。
【录音原文】
Malta may be densely populated (three times more than the Netherlands), but its immigrant population is still tiny. Officials say they have no precise total, but their estimate is below 3, 000—fewer than the commonly touted figure of 7, 000 arrivals since 2002, and less than 1% of the island’s 400, 000 population. Malta’s EU partners could be forgiven for feeling that, as in other respects, the union’s southernmost member is just catching up with them.

第1题：
The world’s population continues to grow. There now are about 4 billion of us on earth. That could reach 6 billion by the end of the century and 11 billion in a further 75 years. Experts have long been concerned about such a growth. Where will we find the food, water, jobs, houses, school and health care for all these people?
A major new study shows that the situation may be changing. A large and rapid drop in the world’s birth rate has taken place during the past 10 years. Families generally are smaller now than they were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing and industrial nations.
Researchers said they found a number of reasons for this. More men and women are waiting longer to get married and are using birth control devices and methods to prevent or delay pregnancy. More women are going to school or working at jobs away from home instead of having children. And more governments, especially in developing nations, now support family planning programs to reduce population grow.
China is one of the nations that have made great progress in reducing its population growth. China has already cut its rate of population growth by about half since 1970.
Each Chinese family is now urged to have no more than one child. And the hope is to reach a zero population growth with the total number of births equaling the total number of deaths by the year 2000.
Several nations in Europe already have fewer births than deaths. Experts said that these nations could face a serious shortage of workers in the future. And the persons who are working could face much higher taxes to help support the growing number of retired people.
1. The world’s population could reach ____________.
A. 6 billion in 75 years
B. 11 billion in 2075
C. 11 billion by the end of this century
D. 600 million in 15 years
2. Which of the following is true?
A. The world’s birth rate is higher than ten years ago.
B. There has been a slower population growth in the past ten years.
C. Families are as large as before.
D. Birth control has been well practiced in all nations.
3. By the year 2000, the number of births and the number of deaths in China will _______.
A. be greatly different
B. drop a great deal
C. be equal
D. become much larger
4. According to the essay, China’s population control ________.
A. is not quite successful
B. should be considered a big success
C. is far from being successful
D. is a complete failure
5. It may happen in the future that the people who are working in Europe will have to pay much higher taxes because___________.
A. more and more children will be born
B. the number of retired people will become ever larger
C. fewer and fewer children will be born
D. they will be making a lot of money

世界人口继续增长。现在地球上大约有40亿人。到本世纪末，这一数字可能会达到60亿，再过75年就会达到110亿。长期以来，专家们一直关注这种增长。我们在哪里能找到这些人的食物、水、工作、房子、学校和医疗保健？
一项新的重大研究表明，情况可能正在改变。在过去10年里，世界人口出生率急剧下降。现在的家庭一般比几年前小。发展中国家和工业国家都在发生这种情况。
研究人员说，他们发现了很多原因。越来越多的男人和女人等待结婚的时间更长，他们使用节育设备和方法来预防或推迟怀孕。越来越多的妇女去上学或者在离家不远的地方工作，而不是生孩子。越来越多的政府，特别是发展中国家，现在支持计划生育计划以减少人口增长。
中国是在减少人口增长方面取得重大进展的国家之一。自1970年以来，中国已经将人口增长率降低了大约一半。
现在每个中国家庭都被要求最多生一个孩子。希望到2000年人口零增长，出生总数等于死亡总数。
欧洲一些国家的出生人数已经少于死亡人数。专家说，这些国家未来可能面临严重的劳动力短缺。而那些正在工作的人可能面临更高的税收，以帮助支持越来越多的退休人员。

第2题：
根据下面资料，回答
Jatenderpal Singh Bhullar,25, is a guardsman in Britain. On Dec. I 1,2012, he became the first Indian soldier to parade outside Buckingham Palace. He said wearing a turban instead of the famous bearskin was "the best moment of his life". The historical day came as the UK′s 2011 census was published. It shows nearly one in seven of the population in 2011 were foreign born.
The increase in the number of immigrants in the country is especially obvious in London. For the first time in history fewer than half the population of London described themselves as "White British".
The top source of new immigrants to the country is India. Many other immigrants are from Poland, Pakistan, Ireland and Germany.
One major reason for the explosion in the foreign-born population is the accession of 12 countries in the central and eastern Europe to the EU, giving them the right to live and work in the UK, said the office for National statistics, which was responsible for the census.
For many immigrants the UK tends to be a good place for life and work. Kissy Meyer,25, moved to Nottingham from Germany in 2007.
"The UK is a great place to live because everyone is so sociable. Apart from the heavy drinking, I love the outgoing lifestyle." She told The Sun.
The census results also suggested the English language could be a barrier for immigrants trying to integrate into British society. In 91 percent of households, English is the main language spoken. However, in four percent of British families, no one is brought up speaking English.
"Britain needs to do more to help integrate its immigrant population," the Labor leader Ed Miliband said in a speech in London on Dec 14,2012.
The future labor government would make proficiency in the English language a key priority, seeking to achieve what he calls a "connected nation" rather than a "segregated one".
"We can only converse if we can speak the same language, so if we are going to build one nation, we need to start with everyone in Britain knowing how to speak English," he said.
The 2011 census results show that___________.A.more than one in seven of the population in 2011 were foreign-born
B.half the population of London described themselves as "White British"
C.English can be a barrier for immigrants trying to integrate into British society
D.only in four percent of British families, children are brought up speaking English答案：C解析：细节题。根据倒数第四段第一句“The census results also suggested the English language could be a barrier for immigrants trying to integrate into British society”．可知C项正确。 -

单选题Which statement about China is NOT true?AIt comes the second among nations in carbon emissions.
BIt has five percent of the world’s population.
CIt accounted for nearly half of the global increase in emissions in the last decade.
DIts carbon emissions have jumped 47％since l990.
正确答案： D解析：
录音中在介绍美国是二氧化碳最大排放国时，提到“The U.S., with five percent of the world’s population...”，可知美国人口占据世界人口的5%。
【录音原文】
In a recent 12-month span, carbon emissions from the burning of fossil fuels climbed to more than 7, 900, 000, 000 tons, a record high. Global emissions of carbon have been rising steadily since the late 18th century and rapidly since the 1950s. In fact, annual emissions have quadrupled since the mid-20th century.
Three-fourths of global carbon emissions are the result of burning fossil fuels, namely coal, oil, and natural gas. The rest largely come from deforestation. Of the four major sectors contributing to these emissions, electricity generation—at 35％—accounts for the largest share; transportation and industrial processes, 20％each. The remaining 25％is produced by residential and commercial buildings. Two-thirds of the carbon emissions from fossil fuel combustion are emitted by just 10 nations. The U.S., with five percent of the world’s population, is the largest contributor, accounting for nearly one-quarter of global emissions. China is second, with nearly l4％. Other major polluters are Russia, Japan, India, Italy, Canada, South Korea, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
Most of the growth in emissions in the coming decades, however, is expected to come from developing countries. While overall global carbon emissions have risen 13％since 1990, those in China have jumped 47％. Indeed, this one country accounts for nearly half of the global increase in emissions in the last decade. -
第13题：
Which of the following statements is NOT true?

B) Lower death rates also contribute to world population growth.
C) The population of Columbia has been doubling every year for 21 years.
D) The United States is usually doubling its population about every 87 years.
正确答案：C
答案：C
[试题分析] 事实判断题。
[详细解答] 根据第三段第一句World population is increasing at a rate of 9,000 per hour．可判断A世界人口每分钟增加150人正确；根据该段第二句This is not only due to higher birth rates，but to lower death rates as well．可判断B论断正确；而由第四段的Some countries，such as Columbia， Thailand，Morocco，Costa Rica，and the Philippines．are doubling their populations about every twenty-one years可判断， C哥伦比亚人口持续21年每年翻一番的论断混淆了事实，论断错误；D美国人口每87年翻一番可根据第三段第二句The United States is doubling its population about every eighty-seven years一句判断为正确论断。因此，本题答案为C。

第18题：
单选题Since 1960, the fast-growing town of Hotstone, Arizona, has drawn water from the Gray River, which feeds Lake Mudfish. If the town’s water use continues to grow at its present rate, in about 20 years the water level of Lake Mudfish will inevitably decrease to the point that it can no longer support its biologically fragile population of fish. The prediction above is based on which of the following assumptions?AAs the town’s water requirements grow, it will not be able to meet those requirements by drawing on water sources other than the Gray River.
BSince 1960, the lake’s population of fish has become more biologically fragile.
CThe amount of water that the lake loses to evaporation each year will increase over the next two decades.
DThere are multiple sources of water besides the Gray River that feed into Lake Mudfish.
EThe town of Hotstone will be able to reverse its trend of increasing water use if it implements an aggressive water conservation program.
正确答案： B解析：
由文段的内容可知，Mudfish湖之所以会干涸是因为Gray River的水都被用来提供给周边的Hotstone和Arizona，所以可知本题应选A项。 -
